Rajasthan HC: Only registered doctors with MD pathology can countersign lab reports
While considering a plea seeking to restrict non-MBBS practitioners from signing medical laboratory reports, the Rajasthan High Court bench reiterated the Supreme Court's observation specifying that "Laboratory Report can be countersigned only by a registered medical practitioner with a post-graduate qualification in pathology".
Taking note of the Supreme Court's ruling on the matter, the High Court held that the concerns raised in the plea were no longer valid. Accordingly, disposing of the petition, the HC bench comprising Justice Avneesh Jhingan mentioned in the order, "In view of the order passed by the Supreme Court, the grievance raised in the present writ petition no longer survives. The petition is disposed of."
